Record many a footballing blunder (3)
I believe the answer is:
log
'record' is the definition.
(logging is a kind of recording)
'many a footballing blunder' is the wordplay.
'many' becomes 'l'.
'a footballing blunder' becomes 'og' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'l'+'og'='LOG'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for log that I've seen before include "Nautical record in timber?" , "Ship's record" , "Piece of wood for the fire" , "Listing" , "Lump of wood or ship's diary" .)
